When footballers come off the pitch, normally you'll see them having a drink of water, or some kind of isotonic sports drink.
Not for Aberdeen winger and Northern Ireland international Niall McGinn.
McGinn, 29 from County Tyrone, who has played for Aberdeen since 2012, was spotted partaking in a particularly unusual refreshment following a substitution: a bottle of banana-flavoured Yazoo.

As Twitter user Saul Anderson quite rightly notes, this is not the kind of thing you'd expect to see in English football. It's not the kind of thing you expect to see in sport in general, but when has Scottish football ever bowed to expectation?
The positioning of the bottle is so perfect it could almost be mistaken for product placement; don't tell us you can look at that photo and don't feel like smashing a Yazoo yourself.
Naturally, some of the responses to McGinn's choice of refreshment were cracking.

But, as some people pointed out, Yazoo is a high-protien drink, and could actually be a sensible choice for a replenishing drink.

Perhaps it turns out that English football has a thing or two to learn from Scotland.
